Hello. An update on my situation. Following on from eh advice offered by HMRC Admin ( above ) - I filled in my CA8421 form and applied for an A1 detailing I live in France but work in the UK. I didn't hear anything for a month or two, but today I received my A1 and S1 certificates in the post - valid for 2 years. It seems the new system does work. Thanks for the advice and good luck everyone.

Hello. This is addressed to HMRC Admin 8 Response I agree with what everyone above has said. I have applied for an S1 certificate for years as someone who lives in France but only works in the UK. I used to call HMRC every year to apply for my S1, then switched to completing a CA8454 form in the past few years. The current iteration of this form does not allow me to apply in my current situation as the CA8454 had allowed to to do previously. I have just completed a CA8421 on your recommendation - applying for an A1 form- I hope this does not complicate things for me on the French system - but although I entered that I only work in the UK, it has not given me the option to apply for an S1 form. Can you confirm that this automatically happens when I complete the AC8421 form - as there is no additional pages to complete and no mention of an S1 form on completion of this form, or is there further action I need to take on my behalf? I spend an hour on the phone to HMRC last week and they did not have any idea on how I should proceed with these changes to the CA8454 application this year. I am really keen to apply for this ASAP as last year it took about 4 months for my S1 form to come through and my current on expires in January. Please can you advise? Thank you
